The FDA is reaching out to the public for their opinion on whether or not to remove a commonly used decongestant from over-the-counter (OTC) cough syrups. Similar to how surveyors gather input from the public to decide which rides should be added or removed at a theme park, the FDA wants to hear from people about their experiences and concerns with the decongestant. By getting feedback, they can make a more informed decision about whether or not to keep it as an ingredient. This approach allows the FDA to take into account the thoughts and perspectives of the everyday people who use these medications. Who knows, maybe someone will even come up with an alternative solution that the FDA hadn’t considered before! If you have strong opinions or personal experiences with decongestants, now’s your chance to make your voice heard. Check out the FDA’s website for more information on how you can participate in this important conversation!
